- Redox mediators play a major role in determining the photocurrent and photovoltage in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Copper complexes are a good option for redox mediators but suffer from electron recombination. The traditional method is to add 4-(tert-butyl)pyridine (TBP) to the electrolyte, which is coordinated with the empty orbit of Ti, thereby slowing down the oxidized mediator's ability to capture electrons. However, this strategy will result in competitive coordination between the redox mediator and TBP, decreasing the stability of the device. In this study, two helical copper(I) complexes are synthesized and applied to TBP-free solar cells. La (1,3-bis(2,2'-bipyridin-6-yloxy)propane) and Lb (1,3-bis[(6'-methyl-2,2'-bipyridin-6-yl)oxy]propane) tend to form double-stranded helicates ([Cu-2(Ln)(2)](2+), n = a, b) rather than mononuclear complexes ([Cu(Ln)](+), n = a, b). To facilitate quantitative analysis of the complexes, Cu(I)Ln and Cu(II)Ln (n = a, b) are used as molecular formulae. (CuLa)-La-I and Cu(I)Lb are characterized by electrospray mass spectroscopy, H-1 NMR spectroscopy, and electrochemistry. J-V measurement shows that both V-oc and J(sc) increase with the increase of (CuLa)-La-I concentration (below 0.1 M), and the best power conversion efficiency is 8.2%. The relationship between Cu(I) concentration and recombination for further study was measured by IMVS.
